“I have no doubt that, someday, the distortion of the truth by the radical feminists of our time will be seen to have been the greatest intellectual crime of the second half of the twentieth century. At the present time, however, we still live under the aegis of that crime, and calling attention to it is an act of great moral courage” – ‘Revolt of the Primitive’ – 2001.

Dan Brown is just one of a very long line of people who, throughout history, have ruthlessly exploited, for personal gain, the hatred and extremism that is the zeitgeist of their time.

A read of the wisdom and truth that abounds within the work of C.S. Lewis would answer anything that Dan Brown had to say. But anybody of reasonable intelligence should be able to crack the ‘Dan Brown Code’ quite easily by themselves. It requires little imagination and is a very simple one based upon greed and subservience to secular, left wing, feminist extremism.

Now that I am Saved; I can see through all the Masonic, and Dan Brown rubbish. What I pray for is that this will not be a stumbling block for those who are seeking God.

I also pray for Dan Brown; as he will have to give account for his deception on the day of reckoning.

Dan Brown’s book The Da Vinci Code claims in the beginning “All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents and secret rituals in this novel are accurate.”

Dan’s novel is in the genre of fiction; the oxford dictionary meaning of fiction is not real; not genuine; imaginary.

Besides Dan Brown’s erroneous claims about Christianity; church history; and current biblical scholarship [as Bill has so kindly shared with us about here], the reader’s intelligence is further insulted by current and historical flawed ‘facts’.

Dan states the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in the 1950’s instead of 1947, and these scrolls state nothing about the early Christians, as he suggests.

Dan states the glass pyramid at the Louvre (Paris) has 666 glass panes, but it has 673.

Any child could conduct research on the internet to view these simple facts (as I did).

Mo Tzu (China, 479-381 BCE) is quoted as saying, “The task of the human-hearted man is to procure benefits for the world and to eliminate its calamities. Now among all the current calamities of the world, which are the greatest?…(the) deception of the simple by the cunning…”

A person will be remembered by the things he says and does. I ask myself, why does Dan publish lies? Was it to cause division among men? Advertise his madness? Or both of the above and make money in the process? Well Dan has achieved all that and more.

With the “Da Vinci Code” movie set to be released in the country on Thursday May 18th, I believe it is important that we circulate information to as many people as we can to dissuade them from seeing the movie, to prevent non-Christian people getting a grossly distorted view of Christ and the Church, or allowing this movie to weaken the faith of some Christians in our community. There are many good websites, books and sources of information which can be used to discredit the ideas of “The Da Vinci Code” without having to see the movie for yourself.

People need to be aware that if they go to see this movie, they are financially supporting those who have insulted our Lord and attacked the Church.

Are we for our Lord Jesus or against Him?

“If anyone declares publicly that he belongs to me, I will do the same for him before my Father in heaven. But if anyone rejects me publicly, I will reject him before my Father in heaven.” Matthew 10: 32-33.

Many thanks for keeping us in touch with many current issues such as The Da Vinci Code, both on your web site and in other ways.

I especially appreciate your very positive attitude, that with The Da Vinci Code we have an excellent opportunity to share the truth about Jesus to our friends and contacts. You help so much by giving us easy to access and clear information. And thank you for challenging us out of our “comfort zones” to do something positive.

May God continue to bless your ministry.

Sincerely, Alison Ferguson, Hobart
